[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I was just making fun of threads like this in another post.

I've read these threads, tried most of them people swear by, didn't like most of them... And I'm back to my daily driver as usual. Every ROM has it's quirks. It's just a matter of what you're going to tolerate. Frankly, I don't know how people stand AOSP. My girlfriend loves it and I hate even touching that phone now. I've got this sexy 3D ROM that flows like water and it's literally 4.5 times the size. I'm just saying that if I posted this exact same thread, I'd find every single answer pretty much useless. Whatever you do, don't do a nightly.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MountainX:
The answers were not useless at all. The conversation helped me. But you notice that I didn't just ask a generic question. In the OP listed specific features that were important to me.

BTW, I only like ASOP ROMS as a rule, but I learned from this forum that Sense-based ROMs give less trouble on the Thunderbolt. If that wasn't true I would have stuck totally to ASOP.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenjeans:
Inject is great, and I do believe satisfies all of your bullets, except for dev support.

The only issue I had with th3ory's tester10 was purchasing market apps. Flashing tester 37 in a minute...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MountainX:
Thanks for that feedback. It was one of the first ROMs I looked at and I initially rejected it because Th3ory had moved on the the tester ROM and I do value active dev support.

But the potential market issues with tester10 concerned me more. So I came back to Inject. It's nice to hear your confirmation that it will probably satisfy most of my bullet points.

I'm going to keep following the tester thread. Now that I have installed my first Thunderbolt ROM, next time I might be ready for something a bit more challenging (but I still want a stable ROM I can use for all my daily needs).

Thanks again.
[Nexus S General] bmwjnky:
I'm a new user to Android and with the help of some threads on here I was able to root and then unroot my phone to get the 2.3.5 OTA. My problem is now I can't redownload some apps since the OTA, MLB at bat for example. When my phone was stock, and when it was rooted the app downloaded with no issues. Now since the 2.3.5 update it says the app is not compatible with my phone when I try to send the download from the My Market page. Any ideas on how I can get this and a couple other apps to download or do I have to wait for them to be compatible with 2.3.5? I'd rather not re-root the phone right now cause I'm still having signal issues and my need to take it into Sprint for replacement.

Wait for the market to update for the new 2.3.5 build fingerprint. Once that is done you will again have access to protected apps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] W.Feather:
I know this has probably been brought up (the similar threads did not show the question), but i am probably going to need a new battery soon for my HD2 (US).

I am interested in an extended battery, but one that is the OEM size(no new backplate is a must), what is the biggest mAh out there for this? Searching the web and ebay all i could find is this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/2430MAH-HIGH-CA...ccessories&hash=item2eb5fbb4fd#ht_2170wt_1139

Not sure if its just a gimick, or if it will fry my phone, or if its legit....anyone know of that one? Or any others.......I dont mind paying the extra $$$, i plan to keep my HD2 for a long time....

one that works with NAND Android is a must as well......Through my searching the above is the only one i could find that fits my wants/needs.....

thanks for the look

-W.Feather
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LaneyEFC:
one thing for sure ... dont purchase of ebay and thats not genuine as the mah is 2 large for the size of the battery id recommend buying a normal hd2 stock battery and keep one with you at all times that way you have 2 batterys,

i purchased apparently a (1600) mah of ebay which lasted same as stock battery and until i got an app called battery monitor widget pro it told me the battery is 1230 mah same as stock battery so unless your paying 30+ for over 2000mah with extended back i wouldnt bother as its a waste
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htccraze:
you know i've seen a lot of people complain about ebay but as long as you follow some simple guide lines you should be fine, after all if it dont live up to its description you can return it for a full refund per ebay's rules. a seller must list it correctly or they have the chance to have negative feedback & returns. this is not to say that everyone on ebay sells ligit stuff though.

1st thing you should know is if it sounds to good to be true it "normally" is

2nd you should look at the feedback and see if other buyers have left positive feedback for the item you plan to buy

3rd test it as soon as you get it, especially if its a sd card or other easily faked item

4th & last thing you should know is dont expect 100% positive feedback means you'll get a genuine item. some people on ebay start with small stuff they can use to bump up they're feedback score & then start selling cheap/knock off stuff. this happened to me with a 16gb memory stick which had a memory hack showing it was 16gb but really it was only 7gb. ebay gave me a full refund and banned the seller.

if you follow these simple guide lines you should be ok. about the battery i agree LaneyEFC. i have 3 spare batteries that i keep on hand incase one dies im able to swap it out for a new charged 1. i bought all 3 batteries and a wallcharger off ebay for about $15 and couldn't be happier with my purchase. i had a extended battery with a kickstand that made my phone heavy & clunky. It also made it a little more difficult to text on then without. i hope this helps some.

i think this is the seller that i bought mine from.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] W.Feather:
I know the too good to be true thing mate ;) thats why i asked to be sure.

As for 2 batteries, the reason i'm looking at a new one is, my current one does not hold a charge long enough(yes i have cleared battery stats and all the other tricks), so i'm looking for a replacement......i figure worst case i buy two OEM ones, but finding a higher mAh one in the OEM size would be optimal because i would rather have longer battery w/o swapping em out if possible ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LaneyEFC:
that also depends on the rom you use, i get 9/10 hours out off typhoon cm7 but also using the same rom i get 1 day 3 hours using the thread method in my signature and with MIUI i get 7 hours and get 16 hours using thread in signature hints :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] W.Feather:
ATM using Pongsters CM7 rom, been thinking of swapping to a new one but no time for another week till my Calculus 3 Final is done...some interesting things in that thread, will have to take a look at it in depth later......

so still no "OEM Sized" batteries with higher mAh suggestions?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htccraze:
yea i know its not ideal to have to change the battery out but most days i dont even need to. if i do its just right there on the charger. it really all comes down to how i used my phone that day i guess. what would be ideal though is having a battery that lasted a long time like with my touch pro 2. man i could surf the web for house & it might have only dropped by 10%.

anyway like i said i did have an extended battery (2300mAh) but it did make the phone rather clunky & difficult to text on. i ended up just selling it to purchase the spare batteries instead. now im used to it, i just leave it on the charger & if i happen to need it swap it out real quick, longest part is waiting for the phone to boot up.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] whynot66:
I've got the original extended battery I just use it all the time now it is clunky but I can play with my phone as and when I want and only ever need to charge at bed time :-)

I don't mind it now :-) and the kick stand is handy

Infuse Version 2 BETA 2 and BETA 3 roms - Clockworkmod Kernel Setup

(Fixes Video Problems in Beta 2 & Beta 3 and ClockworkMod Recovery too)​

#1: Download "sgs kernel flasher" (free) from market

#2: Download "CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip" from here: http://www.multiupload.com/1E3AWIQYAA

#3: Copy "CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip" into /mnt/sdcard

/sgs-kernel-flasher folder

#4: Open sgs kernel flasher and select "backup kernel" you will

see the dated filename of the saved file on bottom of screen

Now you have 2 kernels to choose from, the "CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip" and the kernel you backed up using sgs kernel flasher.

For normal operation of Infuse v2 beta 2 or beta 3 your sgs backed up kernel is what you want to select and use.

If you want to do anything like backup or restore in clockworkmod recovery simply open sgs kernel flasher and click "choose kernel".

Then click "CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip" after this step, press the power button and select "recovery".

The phone will reboot into red clockworkmod recovery menu without any rainbows so you can use all functions and features of clockworkmod recovery.

When you are done using clockworkmod recovery restart phone, open sgs kernel flasher and click "choose kernel" now click the kernel you have backed up.

Reboot the phone again and you will be in normal Infuse v2 beta 2 or beta 3 "rainbow mode" and you are back where you started from. ;)

NOTICE: If you are stuck on a rainbow screen after trying to go into clockworkmod recovery you will need to download the "odin no rainbow" kernel and put the phone in download mode and flash the odin kernel.

Here is the link for the Odin flash no rainbow kernel you need.

http://www.multiupload.com/751NVU5V55

After flashing with Odin restart the phone then follow all the instructions above starting at #1

Have a great day,

Enjoy!

Please don't forget to give me a big THANKS if reading this was helpful to you! ​
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Thats how I did it.....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Auto-Android:
You can just use odin
[Samsung Infuse 4G] yhbrandon:
This is great. I have a mac, so odin and heimdall doesn't work. This should help me upgrade to beta 2
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: odin kernels

yes I know we can use odin but odin requires a computer with windows and samsung usb drivers..

A lot of people do some of these things when they do not have a computer handy, or they are not home and do not want to install usb drivers in other peoples computers or some people simply don't want to mess with the computer if they can do some of these things without one.

There has been much talk about this ever since Infuse v2 beta 1 and 2 came out and there were a lot of misunderstandings about the process.

Anyway, have a great day, Enjoy!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halfnelson117:
I find that the CWM kernel has less rainbows with daily use anyway. And video playback is borked with both anyway, so I just stick with the CWM kernel.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jaydawgg:
Will this work with the kernel being packaged with odin like it is???
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
kernels and rainbows

if your video playback is broke with both kernels then you have done something wrong for sure during flashing of Infuse v2 beta 1 or 2.

The only way to fix it is to go back to froyo rom be sure its rooted and has 3e recovery then go into recovery mode using power button selecting recovery then flash the infuse v2 beta 2 rom with the RED cwm recovery menu.

After its done flashing select "advanced" in cwm recovery menu and select "wipe-factory reset" when thats done simply click on "reboot" and you will see rainbows, wait until the phone completely boots and ready to use.

Then reboot the phone again and leave it alone for 15 minutes more or less and after that it will only have rainbows during boot/reboot and the video playback/preview screen/gallery and everything else in the phone will NOT have rainbows at all.

Hope this helps! if so give me a BIG THANKS!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: working with odin

Nope, this method will not work with the odin kernels cause odin kernels are TAR files and cwm kernels are ZIP files............

Good luck!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Auto-Android:
oh yes i see what you mean
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jaydawgg:
What i mean to say is that the OP gives a kernel link witch is 15 mb and has odin in the archive i dont think that will flash.

Will it??

I thought kernels were about 7 mb
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ameza001:
Excellent sleuthing, Watson! This method worked for me as well!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fleadog99:
I don't think this will work either. It is just the file that was posted earlier. tihe the following listed inside zip:

"/zImage_for_heimdall_users/zImage"

"Odin3_v1.81.exe"

"PDA_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1_CWM.tar.md5"
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mintu123:
yo gtg.......i just flashed this kernal.no rainbow at all after flashing.but in camera view is all black.i can take pics.but cant see what im taking pic of.

i did flash that bootloader dump from rogers infuse.if that has anything to do with it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Yeah if you flash the CWM kernel it fixes rainbows but breaks video and cam viewfinder. Flash other kernel and rainbows, but working video and cam viewfinder.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mintu123:
but netflix streams fine.what if reinstall camera apk and youtube apk. will that fix it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ddot196:
Question. I do not see the sgs folder anywhere. Am I supposed to create it? I downloaded the app from the market. But I do not see the folder you mention.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Nope. Gingerbread bootloaders will fix it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jaydawgg:
Just back up once and it will be created.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: kernel size

They usually are about 7mb but this must have something special in it to make it that large.

You may want to ask GTG why its as large as it is........

I do know it works 100% though

Have a great day.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
why not just download the kernel which is in the LINK in my post?

It's been tested and it works 100% .............

If you have any tech questions about it then ask GTG465x in IRC he is the one who made the kernel...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: more kernel problems

You must be way way behind in reading all the posts about the kernel, bootloader and camera/preview screen.......

You really need to catch up on your reading!

Have a great day...... Enjoy!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] spinzz:
Huh? I'm still on the CWM kernel with v2 beta 2 and all my videos work...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halfnelson117:
I'm positive I flashed correctly, its just that even with the default kernel that was packaged in the infused .zip, the camera, gallery, and video playback all had rainbows. The CWM kernel seemed to alleviate all of these issue except that the preview in the camera is black, and video playback is black as well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: sgs kernel flasher

Which file manager are you using? Hopefully its root explorer or something simular like ES File explorer (which is free)

And no you are not sopposed to create the folder, it has to be there on sdcard root if you installed sgs kernel flasher, you may need to flash kernel with it for the folder to show up so do that first.

After you install sgs kernel flasher open it and select "backup kernel" first..

Then open the file explorer or root explorer or es file explorer then scroll down and you will definatly see a folder called sgs-kernel-flasher in the root of your sdcard.

Try it again.. it has to be there.

Good luck!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
halfnelson - something is wrong with your install. Everyone else has the rainbows in video and camera disappear after a few minutes.

As to Netflix working - that means it isn't hardware accelerated. Software-decode players seem to work fine, hwaccel (stock video player, Diceplayer) don't work with the CWM rainbowfix kernels.

Also, one thing that makes the workflow slightly easier - SGS Kernel Flasher backups can be CWMed, so the workflow once you have backups can be:

Use Kernel Flasher to flash the CWM kernel - I usually uncheck "reboot"

Use the power menu to reboot to recovery

Do your CWM stuff

As your final CWM step, flash the "rainbow" backup - no need to flash from SGS and reboot again
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ddot196:
thanks man. Thats what it was lol.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] mfpearson:
just out of curiosity...

i got this to work - didn't have anything to do in CWM, but wanted to test it out for the "fun" of it.

what exactly are you guys doing in CWM? i'd imagine my old flashes won't work... i had one .zip that changed my signal bars to color and changed the battery icon on infused v 1.5.3.

i'd just like to know what there is to do in CWM, or if there is anything similar to the .zip i had... new android user, reading everything, trying to learn as i go.

thanks in advance!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: what to do in clockworkmod recovery

The whole idea behind being able to use clockworkmod recovery is so we can

backup and restore our roms without the need to start all over again from scratch

using odin, flashing froyo rom then reflashing Infuse v2 beta 2 and then restoring

all our apps and so on which is a waste of time and effort.

Clockworkmod has a lot of other options too like being able to choose which of our backed up roms we want to restore.

So lets say you have the Infuse 1.53 froyo backup and you have the Infuse v2 beta 2 backup you then have a choice which to restore.

Once it restores you will be back in the exact same state as you were in before you created/backed up the rom.

Hope this explains it a bit ;)

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
Weird, my camera viewfinder seems to be working after the CWM kernel flash. I'll have to check it again after my battery calibration is complete but I know I was able to take pics without problem immediately after the CWM kernel flash.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mfpearson:
you can just go ahead and check now... because from what i've read, there is no calibrating this battery. i'd post a link, but i'm not sure where it is, and i've seen Entropy post it a few times. i'm not savvy enough to understand it, but he always sounds convincing, so i'll take his word for it.

unless you are just trying to see how long it lasts, or something like that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
That's odd... Did you happen to flash the CWM kernel and then flash Infused V2 Beta 2? Because the update zip for Infused v2 beta2 includes a rainbow kernel.

Yup... I went into detail on it including fuel gauge datasheet links a few pages ago. About the only "settling out" you need to do is wait 30 minutes from an "unusual event" of some sort - if that even. For those who don't want to search back through this thread, Google the Maxim MAX17040 .
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blario:
What does this mean?! "Press the power button and select 'recovery' "

I press power and the screen goes off. I press and hold power, volume up, and home, and the phone does a hard reset...

Due to having no idea what to do next, I hit restore.

Phone rebooted, voice said partitioning, I waited the 10 minutes & it said it was finished partitioning, but now I see it's in a boot-loop. How do I fix this?

:-/

I was on stock ke3 + rooted prior to this happening.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: press power button

After your phone is fully booted and you are at your home screen

PRESS POWER BUTTON for a couple seconds and it displays all the

booting options including the recovery option.

You know, when you have your phone turned on and want to turn it off it displays a menu of options to choose from, one of which is recovery ;)

Have a great day,

Enjoy!

If this helps you resolve your problem, please give me a big thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blario:
Recovery is not listed in my menu. I checked several times. It's never been listed there.

How to fix his boot-loop?

Note: I went this route because I'm not on windows. I just checked gtg's unbrick thread and it's got Windows instructions...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: recovery not listed

If recovery is NOT listed it means one of three things:

#1: Your phone is NOT rooted (or not fully rooted)

#2: You have not flashed the clockworkmod recovery in rom manager

#3: You have not sucessfully flashed the cwm recovery zipfile

If your phone is not rooted or not properly rooted then you

cannot flash the clockworkmod recovery with sucess and

you will not see the recovery option

If you want to be sure if your phone is properly rooted,

goto the market and download "superuser" and open it

to see if you have "su" (super user access).

If you don't have it, read #1, #2 and #3 above.

Hope this helps,

Enjoy!

Don't forget to give me a big thumbs if this solves your problems ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blario:
#1: The phone was rooted. I've used tethering, superuser, and busybox on it fine.

#2: No, it doesn't have CWM. I thought the point of this thread was to get CWM setup. Nope, haven't used ROM Manager. Thought it didn't work on Samsung phones. I thought that is why SGS Kernel Flasher was needed instead.

#3: I'm not aware of a CWM recovery zip file. I grabbed the zip file listed here in the OP (infused gingerbread b1 kernel). I pressed restore using this zip file, guessing, because I saw no "Recovery" anywhere. I thought restore was going to flash this kernel, which I assume has CWM included with it.... which would have eventually allowed me to get to beta_2...

The serious issue right now is fixing this boot-loop.

Thank you for your help Misterjunky (I already followed through with the thank you button)

Not sure if we need these instructions anymore since the new ROM Manager method is much safer and easier. The two different kernels just kept confusing people. Also, every instruction you could possibly need should now be in either the first or second post of my thread I think.
